Idol Aspirations? i-Sing(TM) Helps Singers Reach for the Stars ... and Hollywood!

Hit the High Notes with World's First Interactive, Handheld MP3-Karaoke Player

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- There are some things you're just not born with -- Sanjaya's hair, Jordin's dimples and Blake's beat-boxing skills -- but aspiring Idols have a new secret weapon: i-Sing(TM). i-Sing is the world's first interactive, handheld MP3-Karaoke player, and it is the perfect tool to help you stay in tune and stand out from the crowd. i-Sing allows users to sing along to their favorite tunes, listen to top hits, and record their own voices all at the same time.

This ultimate portable device is the ideal partner for American Idol hopefuls. More than 12,000 singers swarmed San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium to kickoff national auditions for the seventh season of American Idol. Now these aspiring stars (and singers at home!) can prepare for their big break by singing their hearts out with i-Sing.

"The time is right to introduce i-Sing to consumers across the country," said Alan J. Sutton, Chairman of Outrageous International, manufacturer of i-Sing. "Not only is music a part of our everyday lives, but the American Idol craze and the popularity of The Singing Bee and Don't Forget the Lyrics! have helped make singing aloud America's favorite pastime. i-Sing offers aspiring singers and music lovers everywhere More Music Fun with an innovative MP3-karaoke experience, allowing them to showcase all that they've got!"

Instead of waiting for popular songs to be re-released on a karaoke CD once the song is outdated, i-Sing users can create personalized karaoke files from their favorite songs of today. Employing advanced technologies, i-Sing enables music fans to add their own lyrics and to produce instrumental music. By eliminating the artist's voice track, fledgling singers can practice all day and night on their own instrument-only ballads.

The global success of American Idol makes this the perfect time to introduce the very first music player that actually lets you feel the beat, rap to the lyrics, and emulate your favorite stars. i-Sing promises to help aspiring contestants learn their lyrics perfectly (always the judges' pet peeve)! i-Sing also makes it easier than ever for people to show off their voices or just listen casually to their favorite tunes. From gifted performers to those who simply love to sing along, i-Sing gives everyone a chance to shine and have fun, even if they do not land a spot on Idol's finale!

Unlike the i-Pod, i-Sing displays lyrics on its screen and contains an internal speaker and microphone. Users first load songs, then add lyrics onto the digital device, and finally sing-along wherever they want, whenever they want. i-Sing, for the first time ever, gives music fans the opportunity to create their own music, create their own album, and put their very own auditions on their youtube.com or myspace.com websites.

i-Sing's innovative capabilities include revolutionary P.D.S.R Fusion Technology: Play - Display - Sing - Record all at the same time. Moreover, through proprietary lyric creator software, i-Sing enables users to easily input the lyrics to songs and even personalize them by creating their own lyrics. Through patented voice reduction technologies, users can reduce or eliminate the singer's voice to create instrument-only karaoke music.

i-Sing is currently available at Wal-Mart stores in the greater Denver, CO area and will be available nationwide for Back-to-School shopping at Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, QVC, Meijers, Sears Wishbook, Hammacher Schlemmer, Linens N Things, Target.com, Wal-mart.com, Etoys.com, Amazon.com, Toys R Us.com, Kmart.com, Sears.com, BJ's and other fine retailers.

i-Sing is a product of Outrageous International, which manufactures, markets, and distributes a wide array of unique technologically advanced products. For more information about i-Sing and to see the i-Sing TV commercial, please visit www.itsoutrageous.com.
